Did y'all have a sudden cold snap? Is that why so many fell off while still partially green? Or does this tree just do this.

I opened a cafe in March that is also a zero-waste market, has a take-a-book/leave-a-book area, plus a case full of books on sustainability, plus we sell locally made baked goods, and we have dried flower art. So... close?

So sweet.

Yeah, I'm annoyed with the folks who are calling it performative and empty and saying "what will you do that actually matters?" Everyone needs to take those first steps. People don't go from zero to organizer in 5 seconds.

That's a quality sign.

This is a photo a friend's sister in CT took off her front walk. Not gonna lie. I'm a little envious. The only critters that eat my pumpkins are squirrels and chipmunks.

A large black bear sits on a brick walkway near two pumpkins, one of which the bear has taken several large bites out of.

Be safe out there today, y'all. I doubt the violence will come from our side, but protect yourself as best you can.

Ugh.

Every time I'm on a plane I reminisce about the days when I could awkwardly skootch past my seatmates and get to the bathroom without them having to get up.

Seriously. I saw a post like this yesterday, but it seemed to be a different guy.

Mia McCullough @brazenhussy.bsky.social · 2d

Wow. So lush. I'm guessing that rain has something to do with it.

With questionable taste in men. But her questionable taste has enabled her to become one of the most effective philanthropists of our time.

Seems upsetting for you and uncomfortable for the patient.

Mia McCullough @brazenhussy.bsky.social · 3d

She appears to be good people.

Yeah, but being fed up and arresting other officers are very different things. I'm sure the FOP is discouraging it.

Now will the cops actually do it is the question

A Judge in Chicago unleashed the Kracken…If ICE agents are caught trying to arrest someone at or around a courthouse, they can be arrested. Cook County's top judge made it illegal for ICE to detain anyone inside or even near a courthouse. That includes the steps, sidewalks, parking lots, & entryways

"Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer."

That's who ICE arrested and disappeared as part of Donald Trump's immigration policy.

It's outrageous.

I've been pressing for answers and I'll keep pushing for accountability.

We need alternative trick-or-treating plans in place.

Who's ruining the rat hole?!
(One of my partner's coworkers made me rat hole cookie cutters last year. This is the smaller one which is less practical and I plan to make it into a Christmas ornament this year.)

Dude. Same. Thankfully my spouse is watching hockey and oh shit the game is over. My attention is being requested.

Way to completely give away your identity, btw.
